Help us raise £5,000
Every time you visit our museums, you're giving us the vital income we need to care for our historical buildings and keep history alive, but this week there’s another way you can help!
As part of its Movement for Good programme Benefact Group is donating £5,000 each to 10 charities which support the arts, culture or heritage and you can nominate us to receive one of the grants.
It only take a few minutes but must be done by Friday 11 October at the latest.
